Teacher in shop twerking incident forced to hide from online trolls

The male teacher who was allegedly sexually abused by two twerking women says he has been hit with a vicious backlash online after reporting the abuse.

CCTV footage taken on October 7 shows two women harassing the man, who does not want to be named, while he is waiting by a shop counter in Washington, D.C.

In the video, two women grind against his crotch, twerk and grab his privates as he speaks to someone on the phone.

"They were all over my chest and grabbing me. If I would have done that obviously I would have been arrested, thrown to the ground, probably 20 years in prison, no out. You know, it's not the same thing," the victim told news channel WTTG-TV.

He said he had seen online vitriol directed towards him after he filed a police report against the twerkers.

Answering social media critics, the man says he didn't push either women away from his body because he believed a group of men, who he thought were the women's pimps, were watching the scene unfold from outside the store.

"I thought they would have a pimp who was pushing them to be prostitutes who could have been outside with one of the gentlemen that were out there watching and witnessing, could have been with guns to come and shoot me," the victim explained. "I did not want to be shot that day."
